if ( OW::getUser()->isAuthenticated() )
        {
            $this->redirect(OW::getRouter()->urlForRoute('base_member_profile'));
       }

This will redirect any logged in user to their profile page... Hope that helps.

Hey thanks for the reply. This is helpful but doesn't tell me HOW to authenticate the user. Is there a function that I can give OW a username and pw and it can authenticate the user?

Hi, you can authenticate a user only by user ID. Try playing with this function:

OW_User::getInstance()->login($userId);

Hi, I am very new in Oxwall. I want to login to oxwall site using login to other website.
My code is:

<?php
define('OW_URL_HOME', 'http://localhost/oxwall_new/index.php');
define('_OW_', true);

define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

define('OW_DIR_ROOT', dirname(__FILE__) . DS);
require_once(OW_DIR_ROOT . 'ow_includes' . DS . 'init.php');
require_once(OW_DIR_ROOT . 'ow_system_plugins' . DS . 'base/classes/standard_auth.php');
require_once(OW_DIR_ROOT . 'ow_core' . DS . 'session.php');
$username = $_GET['username'];
$password = $_GET['password'];


$adapter = new BASE_CLASS_StandardAuth($username,$password);
$result = OW::getUser()->authenticate($adapter, true);
     
                if ( $result->isValid() )
                {
                    if ( isset($data['remember']) )
                    {
                        $loginCookie = $this->userService->saveLoginCookie(OW::getUser()->getId());
     
                        setcookie('ow_login', $loginCookie->getCookie(), (time() + 86400 * 7), '/', null, null, true);
                    }
           
                }
   
session_regenerate_id();     

header('Location:http://localhost/oxwall_new/index.php')
?>


Using this code i am redirecting to oxwall site when i login through other website. but not logged in to oxwall site. If i see in data base there is one table "ow_base_user_online" which shows an entry for on-line user.
i am unable to understand if i am not logged in how it can show this entry for user 1 & if it is showing entry in this table then why i am not logged in to oxwall site.
please help & let me know if doing anything wrong. Help would be appreciated. thanks in advance. waiting for reply

nisha, you should develop a new plugin using the following authentication string:

OW_Auth::getInstance()->login($userId);

You can check out the /ow_system_plugins/base/bol/user_dao.php file to see how it works.

Also, you can use the solution described in this topic: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/13183
